Skirts for my valentines

I made some quick and easy skirts for the little girls I babysit, and just had to share. Since I am just learning to sew don't look too closely. LOL These were super easy because they are simply t-shirts cut off to make skirts.
I took two Hobby Lobby t-shirts that were about two sizes too large, and simply cut them off under the arms. This is awesome because it gives you a perfect bottom seam to start with. Then you just size it to your kiddo. Leave a little extra length for the waistband. I left about 1in because my elastic was pretty thin. Then I embellished them with some Rick-rack and cut out felt letters. It was a quick project. I finished them both in just a couple of hours even with sewing the letters by hand.

I can't wait to see how adorable they look on Valentine's day. What are you making for your valentine?
